Admission to the program at Calcutta University is determined through an entrance exam, considering both the exam scores and bachelor’s degree marks. 40% of seats are filled through the entrance exam, while 60% are reserved for students who completed their bachelor’s from Calcutta-affiliated colleges, based on BSc marks. The faculty and staff are praised for their supportive and approachable nature, with teachers being distinguished scientists selected through rigorous interviews. The fee structure is notably affordable, about Rs.
3000 per semester, with total semester fees ranging from Rs. 2000 to Rs. 4000, plus a Rs. 300 library charge for two years. The university hosts limited campus placements, with companies like TATA, WIPRO, COGNIZANT, and ADOBE participating. Engineering students have more placement opportunities than general students, and while the university does not offer direct placements, it prepares students to find jobs independently. Some departments offer internships, but this is not consistent across all areas.
Scholarships funded by West Bengal are available for postgraduate students, targeting those in need or who are departmental rank holders. Although there are no loan facilities due to low fees, staff assist with scholarship applications and approvals.
